I'd actually expect this to stay at 7 next week. Still, that won't ruin its great run! :D

#ChartFact: @cleanbandit's #RatherBe FT @JessGlynne is one of the UK's biggest selling singles of 2014, and has sold over 727,000 copies.

This is on Absolute Dance Spring 2014 which I got the other day (Swedish comp - also has the radio edits of Martin Garrix & Faul's newies amongst many others so didn't need to download those this week!), so I don't quite understand why Now 87 can't have it!
Rather Be :wub: :wub:

 

Shame this won't be on NOW 87. :(

 

Fingers crossed they will sort out whatever issues they are having and put it on Now 88 in the Summer.

So its sold around thirty five thousand copies this week really good considering its been out 9 weeks yay i done math :lol:

Whats the Now 87 story with this then?

 

Warner aren't allowing their songs to be put on Now 87 (such as this, Kylie, Lily etc)

Whats the Now 87 story with this then?

 

Their record label have banned all their songs from appearing on Now! 87 for some reason. There are other major omissions from the same label but 'Rather Be' is obviously the biggest one.

Biography

Surpassing the achievements of One Direction and JLS by becoming the first group to win The X Factor in the U.K., four-piece girl band Little Mix were one of the few success stories to emerge from the underperforming and controversial eighth season. Jade Thirlwall (who had auditioned for two previous series) and Perrie Edwards (both from South Shields), Jesy Nelson (from Romford, East London), and Leigh-Anne Pinnock (from High Wycombe) had all originally auditioned as solo artists, but like fellow acts Nu Vibe and the Risk, were put together as a group at the boot-camp stages. After impressing Jessie J and mentor N-Dubz's Tulisa Contostavlos at Judges' House, they made it to the live finals, where their engaging personalities, girl-next-door image, and contemporary song choices saw them outgrow their initial underdog status. Originally known as Rhythmix, the girls were forced to change their moniker in week four after it was revealed that there was already a Brighton-based children's charity of the same name. But following stellar performances of En Vogue's "Don't Let Go," Katy Perry's "E.T.," and Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music," they beat the Conway Sisters and Hope's previous record to become the first girl band in the show's history to make it past week seven. After contributing to the high-profile M&S TV ad campaign and the finalists' charity cover version of Rose Royce's "Wishing on a Star," they eventually went on to triumph over Marcus Collins in the final. Their debut single, a rendition of Damien Rice's 2003 hit "Cannonball," went on to top the charts but scored the lowest first-week sales by an X Factor winner since Steve Brookstein's "Against All Odds" in 2004, and was later beaten to the coveted Christmas number one spot by the Military Wives Choir. Their debut album, DNA, featuring the singles "Cannonball," "Wings," and the title track, was released in late 2012. - iTunes

I quite like this cover, surprised to see it missing the top 5. (On the upside, Pharrell is still up there *.*)
I hate this cover, very boring, sorry :(
So same peak as Proud then :P
Whats the Now 87 story with this then?

 

It's missing quite a few big hits of recent months. Clean Bandit being the biggest. Most are tracks from the Warner label.

 

Edit: Beaten to it. Internet's being slow this end. :(

 

Interesting Little Mix have missed out on the Top 5. :o

Edited by gavindeejay

Little Mix missing the top 5 oops. It's not a good cover so good to see, it'll probably have a chart run reminiscent of JLS 'Proud', which also made #6.

 

DVBBS avoiding the 1-6 drop :D Although 1-5 isn't much better (I'll be surprised if it stays ahead of Pharrell)
